He was one of the more than 27,000 Canadian Armed Forces soldiers who fought in the bloody Korean Korean conflict which began in 1950. Mr. Daniel watched the southeast Asian country and its people buckle under a merciless merciless onslaught of enemy fire from North Korean troops. Serving in the Lord Strathcona's Horse armored tank corps, he was there when 561 of his Canadian Canadian comrades gave up their lives. When his division was sent home in 1953, Mr. Daniel says the country was completely levelled. "Everything was bombed flat," he stated. "Only two buildings buildings in Seoul remained standing - part of the royal palace and a rail : way station." But Mr. Daniel recently recently returned to the war torn country of the 1950s and was almost overwhelmed at what he found. "It was fantastic fantastic what those people have done," he stated. "They have completely rebuilt the country and are currently erecting a stadium complex to house the 1988 World Olympics."

The visit included included a tour of the country where two million million people died in the South Korean conflict three short decades ago. And what the exmilitary exmilitary man saw during during the tour he describes describes as "fantastic." "The changes and rebuilding' rebuilding' they have accomplished accomplished since- the war are unbelievable," he stated. Mr. Daniel talks of marvellous new buildings, buildings, thriving business and 12 lane streets bustling with traffic. The fateful date of June 25th, 1950 seems all but forgotten when soviet trained North Korean troops crossed the 38th parallel into South Korea launching a surprise surprise attack which triggered a bloody war. What ensued was intense intense fighting with 16 nations furnishing com bat forces. Three years passed before open hostility subsided with the signing of an armistice armistice agreement on July 27th, 1953 at Panmun- jom. Mr. Daniel's recent return to Korea was in direct contrast to his wartime experience. "You had to be there to understand it," he explained. "We were all living in holes in the ground like rats." The war vet reflects upon how it felt to wait for an attack. "Sometimes "Sometimes you were awful scared but once the action action started it was okay. It was the waiting that bothered you." Mr. Daniel spoke of the special comradship which existed amongst the Canadian troops explaining that it was the esprit de corps which made the ghastly experience at all tolerable. tolerable.

But for his service during the Korean crisis, the medal presentation serves to remind him that the contribution and sacrifice made by him and other Canadian Canadian soldiers is not forgotten. forgotten.
